3. Thrust Bearings (1150)
I replaced all plastic bearings with ZZ metal ones, except the thrust bearing as I could only find 4.5mm ones, I guess you need 4mm ones, any advice to source.
Ones I sent back 5x11x4.5 Thrust Bearing (x1) F5-11M - RCbearings Limited
I think that you search this bearing (internal to the differential: need 1 on the front and 1 on the rear differential)

Hi, very nice to see a rebuild. I just started a rebuild of my own Falcon.
One question, you also went for an ESC instead of the physical speedcontroller, but choose a Tamiya model apparently. Why a Tamiya? Is that the most appropriate solution? I went to a modelcar shop and they sold me the Hobbywing 1060. It works fine, allthough I had to rotate the transmitter stick 180 degrees to get it working the right side up.I buy a Tamiya for build a complet Tamiya RC… and i hope that i can install without problem on the car.
My expertise with the RC car is too small… with 25 years behind
If i have a problem, i could used a TEU-101BK. It is more compact !
The advantage with the TBLE-02S is that you can install a brushless engine (more performant).
I discover it when i try to run it
Brunshless motor = 3 connections electrics files

Classic motor = 2 connections electrics files

Sorry
